In July 1549, a crowd in Norfolk showed up to tear down Robert Kett's fences. Instead of stopping them, he agreed with them, helped pull down his own hedges, and led them to Norwich. What followed was seven weeks of about 16,000 people running the county from a camp on Mousehold Heath, with a court, a supply system and a signed list of demands. It ended at the Battle of Dussindale on 27 August 1549.This one has been on my list for seventeen years and I somehow never made it. Fixing that today.

Wild animals carry a raw, simultaneous presence of beauty and danger that is difficult to fully articulate, which is exactly what makes the picture in Isaiah 11 so stunning. A wolf living with a lamb. A leopard resting beside a goat. A little child leading them all. These pairings shatter every assumption we hold about the natural order of things. They are describing something that has never existed in a fallen world. A day is coming when the knowledge of the Lord will fill the earth as the waters cover the sea, and in that day, radical and complete peace will come to all of creation. No more fear, no more power struggle, no more tooth and claw. The everlasting reign of Jesus will bring the peace that every corner of creation has been groaning for. For now, we live in the in-between. We catch glimpses of that coming reality in our friendships with animals, in moments of unexpected beauty in the natural world, and in the steady trust that what is broken is not forever. All shall be well. Today's Bible Verse "They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain, for the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea."— Isaiah 11:9, NIV Ponder Today The stunning pairings in Isaiah 11 are meant to shatter our assumptions. Wolf with lamb. Leopard with goat. Child leading them all. God is describing something so far outside our current experience that it can only arrive with the fullness of His knowledge filling the earth. We live in the in-between of here but not yet. The promise of Isaiah 11 is future, but we are not without glimpses of it now — in the animals we love, in moments of beauty in nature, and in every act of peace and care we extend to the world around us. The current brokenness of creation is not its final state. Romans 8 tells us that creation itself groans, waiting for redemption. That groan is not hopeless — it is the groan of something that knows restoration is coming. Waiting faithfully means making the most of opportunities to promote peace right now. We cannot bring Isaiah 11 into full reality, but we can be agents of the peace it describes in the lives and world around us while we wait for the One who will. A Prayer for You Today Root of Jesse, Scripture speaks of a coming day when You will rule in peace and righteousness, when the world will be filled with the knowledge of You and all will confess that Jesus is Lord. With Your rule, peace will come to all of creation. I long for this day when wars will cease, humans will live in harmony with Your good creation, and death will die. Right now, I find myself in the in-between of here but not yet. Help me wait in faithfulness, making the most of my opportunities to promote peace in the lives and world around me. May I live with steady trust that the current brokenness of creation is not forever. Peace is coming. And so I trust, in the words of Julian of Norwich, that all shall be well. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Norwich State Hospital in Connecticut served as a home and place of treatment for the mentally ill for a hundred years. As is the case with many old insane asylums, treatment methods were arcane and in some cases torturous. Mental illness was not understood and people were mistreated years ago. Places that harbor pain and suffering seem to capture the energy for all eternity and that energy tends to lead to supernatural activity. Have evil entities been drawn here by the painful emotions? Is the bad energy trapped within the walls of the building itself? Join us for the history and hauntings of the Norwich State Hospital.

Controversy. Disappointment. Drama. The Championship is so back... Norwich City's disappointing opening day record continued as they were beaten 2-1 by West Brom at Carrow Road, but much of the post-match discourse was dominated by the Baggies opening goal. Aune Heggebo diverted the ball into the net for to put City behind, with Philippe Clement describing the situation as 'ridiculous' post-match. But there were plenty of football reasons behind the Canaries defeat. Plenty to discuss with host Connor Southwell, Paddy Davitt and Adam Harvey - plus an insight on a hostile welcome for Matej Jurasek at new club Sparta Prague. ***Picture: Paul Chesterton/Focus Images Ltd***You can also hear the Pink Un Podcast on Norwich's Community radio station, Future Radio 107.8FM.***To get in touch with the podcast now and in future, send any comments and questions into the crew with an email to norfolksport@archant.co.uk or get in touch with us @pinkun on Twitter, where our direct messages are open.And if you're interested in sponsoring the pod, or placing an advert in one of our shows, email connor.southwell@newsquest.co.ukALSO FIND US AT THE FOLLOWING:Subscribe: pinkun.com/podcastTwitter: twitter.com/pinkunFacebook: fb.me/thepinkunInstagram: instagram.com/the_pinkunFind more details on how you can sign up to Pink Un + here: https://www.pinkun.com/pinkunplus/#ncfc #norwichcity #podcast

The 2026/27 Championship campaign is finally upon us, and there is plenty of optimism about what it could hold for Norwich City. It has been a summer of continuity for the Canaries, with Philippe Clement leading them into the new season, hoping to maintain the excellent form in the second half of the season. But with a stronger league ahead of them, how will Norwich do? Who will be their top scorer? Who will break into the team? All big questions. Joining Connor Southwell and Adam Harvey to answer them is Canaries legend Iwan Roberts.

In 1962, one man's quiet refusal kept the world from nuclear war – and he never got credit for it. Daniel and his friends faced the same kind of choice: Stand alone with no guarantee of rescue, or go along to survive. What does it cost to do the right thing when not one's watching, and no one may ever know?

"The Possitopian approach to future thinking expands the cone of the possible future, draws on geophysical realities and data, and also applies imagination to help you imagine future scenarios which are potentially worse or better than you might allow yourself to think."  So says this week's guest, Bridget McKenzie. Bridget is an artist and regenerative thought leader working to engage people with what she calls the Earth Crisis -which is a new term to me but feels a much better fit than MetaCrisis or Polycrisis. Her career includes being Tate's Education manager and the British Library's Head of Learning. In 2006, she founded Flow Associates, a research consultancy in cultural learning. In the past decade, she has focused on the intersection of culture and environment, and has developed training, collectives and campaigns pushing at the radical edges of this field. This includes founding Climate Museum UK, a creative collective putting the Earth Crisis in context, and Earth Talk, a community of practice for Earth Literacy. She co-founded Culture Declares, a movement of cultural workers declaring a planetary emergency. She experiments with creative activism in her city of Norwich. And creative activism is what we're all about - how do we stretch our imaginations beyond the bounds of what we believe to be true now, to what might be true if we can only lay the foundations for something utterly outside our current capacity to imagine? This was such an inspiring conversation with someone who thinks deeply about the nature of art, creativity, culture - and the ways we can engage ourselves and each other at the deepest level.

In this episode, Gem welcomes Susan Carson for a rich conversation at the intersection of contemplative spirituality, trauma healing, neuroscience, and the Christian mystical tradition. Drawing from the wisdom of Julian of Norwich and insights from interpersonal neurobiology, Susan explores how healing often happens not through striving, fixing, or formulas, but through safe connection, compassionate presence, and co-suffering love. Together they discuss what trauma really is, why the past can continue to shape our present experience, and how healing invites us back toward our true selves. Susan also explains concepts like co-regulation, the nervous system's need for safety, and why being deeply seen and lovingly witnessed can be profoundly restorative. Along the way, they explore contemplative practices of beholding, the self-emptying love of Christ, and what it means to create "noise-free, shame-free, formula-free" spaces where healing can flourish. If you've ever felt exhausted by quick fixes, discouraged by spiritual formulas, or longed for a deeper experience of God's presence in your healing journey, this conversation offers a hopeful and grace-filled vision of wholeness. In this episode you'll learn: What trauma is and how it shapes our experience of life Why safety is essential for healing and transformation The role of co-regulation in emotional and spiritual health What Julian of Norwich teaches us about God's presence Why beholding is central to contemplative healing How neuroscience and spiritual formation complement one another What it means to create noise-free, shame-free, formula-free space for others Guest: Susan Carson is the Founder and Executive Director of Roots & Branches, spiritual director, speaker, and author of A Kenotic Way of Contemplative Healing.

Have you ever gotten a little too comfortable? Maybe you've been running hard and just needed a break. Or maybe laziness has become a little too normal. Whatever the reason, we must be careful of how long we rest. God calls us to rest, but He also calls us to work (Exodus 20:9-10). God has a mission for each of us, but if we stray from God's will and start to lean into our own, we can find ourselves in very dangerous territory.

Storms can his without warning, devastating everything in their path. Other storms can be seen coming, giving us time to prepare and even shelter in place. One day, the famous prophet Jeremiah experienced a storm he long saw coming but was powerless to stop. Standing in the ashes of his ruined city, he wept and worshipped. He knew that weeping may remain for the night, but joy comes with the morning. Join us this Sunday to learn how to worship in the storm.

Heather and Jonny are barely surviving the latest heatwave in Southern Illinois. They seek comfort in some international Pride celebrations, despite the violence at the Berlin Pride March. In the back half of the show they demonstrate how pretty much all protests, legislation, and bigotry against LGBTQ+ people and concerns are motivated by patriarchy. The most toxic versions of that are finally starting to reveal themselves as incompetent and harmful for most of us. At their core, mysogyny, homophobia and transphobia all try to solve a you problem by making it about subjugating someone else.

When we need a repairman, some of us search for a YouTube video and figure it out ourselves. But some things you break, you just can't fix yourself – no matter how hard you try to DIY. Israel had run itself into the ground, and even their best kings couldn't undo two hundred years of damage. DIY wasn't enough, but God wasn't finished with Israel. Together, let's discover God's repair plan that's still impacting us today.

Sometimes receiving bad news ends up being a really good thing. Like a diagnosis while there is still time for treatment, or the dashboard light alerting you to a problem before the engine is ruined. In the same way God's messengers often bring bad news early enough for there to still be hope of rescue. Join us on Sunday to learn about God's Messengers and what God might have to say to you.

For Catholics seeking accurate information about the church's teachings on sex ethics, the internet can be a perilous place. One might get plenty of opinions from influencers, and far more personal information about people's sex lives than one bargained for—but not so much accurate source-based content on Catholic teaching. Some influencers have even told women that the church says they have to have sex with their husbands whenever their husbands want it, regardless of their own feelings. Clearly, this is a coercive and dangerous approach to sex and relationships.    Yet the Catholic Church does view sex as important in marriage. Canon law even states that a marriage isn't valid without consummation. But does that mean sex is, in some sense, obligatory? What about if one partner doesn't want it? What do we make of the marriage of Mary and Joseph? And what makes sex so important anyway?   On this episode of Glad You Asked, guest Kate Ott talks about the role of sex in a Catholic marriage, and what goes into a healthy sex ethic. Ott is a professor of Christian Ethics at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary outside of Chicago, as well as an author and religious education curriculum designer. Her books include Sex + Faith: Talking with your Child from Birth to Adolescence (Westminster John Knox Press) and Sex, Tech and Faith: Ethics for a Digital Age (Eerdmanns).   Learn more about this topic using these links.   Sex + Faith: Talking with Your Child from Birth to Adolescence, by Kate Ott   "Does Catholic rhetoric about sex line up with reality?" by Don Clemmer   "It's time to wrestle with church teaching on sex.

Earlier this summer, there was some incredible progress in cervical cancer. Women who have been vaccinated against the human papillomavirus (HPV) now have an almost zero chance of dying from cervical cancer before the age of 30. But does that mean women will no longer need cervical screening? Dr Jo Morrison, a consultant gynaecological oncologist from Somerset NHS Foundation Trust, joins James Gallagher and resident GP Dr Margaret McCartney to discuss. The government has announced school dinners will soon be overhauled in England, in order to reduce the amount of salt, sugar and fat, and boost the amount of fibre and nutrients offered to schoolchildren. James is joined by Dr Maria Traka, head of the food and nutrition national bioscience research infrastructure at the Quadram Institute in Norwich, to find out what the new dinners will look like. He also pays a visit to the Food Museum in Suffolk, where curator Katherine Bridges takes him on a trip through the decades, to see whether school dinners are healthier than ever. Also, have you seen the buzz surrounding creatine on social media? Gym-goers promise it can help you get stronger and build bigger muscles, but there is also some debate about whether it could boost your brain too. To dig into the science, James chats with Dr Damian Bailey, a professor of physiology and biochemistry at the University of South Wales.Presenter: James Gallagher Producer: Alice Lipscombe-Southwell Editor: Ilan Goodman Production coordinator: Stu Laws Sound engineer: Steve Greenwood

Every life is represented by a tiny dash between two dates on a gravestone, but the influence of that dash can last for generations. The lives of Solomon, Rehoboam, Jeroboam, and David remind us that our choices never affect only us. Compromise leaves behind a legacy of brokenness, while faithfulness leaves behind a legacy of blessing. The good news is that through Jesus—the true and faithful King—we are no longer bound to repeat the failures of those who came before us. In Christ, we can begin

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: January 05, 2022This episode of Weird Darkness opens over the north Atlantic in May 1963, where a NATO English-language secretary based in Paris, flying on a near-empty DC-8 carrying fifty staff from Orly Airport to ministerial meetings in Ottawa, looked from her window and saw a dark grey, torpedo-shaped object six to seven thousand feet below the plane — its rear cut off sharply and squarely, with no wings, windows, or visible propulsion — before it vanished into cloud and the aircraft dropped into violent turbulence. Terrified and certain no one else aboard had noticed, she said nothing for almost twenty years, until a 1980 letter to Flying Saucer Review brought the account to light and the magazine published it the following year. The segment threads her sighting into a longer record of cigar-shaped craft: Melvin Vagle Jr. and his wife spotting a windowed object hovering over a plowed field near Grafton, Nebraska on November 22, 1961; Miss Footner tracking a silver, hundred-foot craft over Saanich Mountain near Victoria, British Columbia in early 1960; Reverend Lionel Browning and his wife photographing a grey mothership over Cressy, Tasmania on October 4, 1960 as smaller discs darted out of the clouds and explosions later shook nearby houses; RCMP Constable James Blackwood watching a cigar-shaped object near Clarenville, Newfoundland on November 26, 1978 mirror his patrol car's flashing lights for nearly two hours; a couple camping at Hexham, New South Wales in late December 1984 seeing discs swarm a lit craft that seemed to carry a helmeted figure; and an anonymous Swedish driver on Route 55 near Orsundsbro in June 1985 stepping out of her car to study a windowed craft she first mistook for a police helicopter.From there the episode crosses to England, where the night of November 16, 1963 brought four teenagers walking home from a dance past Sandling Park near Hythe, Kent face to face with a human-sized, headless creature with wings on its back; seventeen-year-old John Flaxton and eighteen-year-old Mervyn Hutchinson had first watched a bright gold oval descend behind the trees, and Flaxton felt a sudden, unexplained cold as the thing came at them through the woodland. The same evening in Saltwood, Tony Harrison and three companions saw a glowing oval and a figure in a scarlet cloak holding a flickering lantern, and within days John McGoldrick discovered three giant footprints, each roughly two feet long, near the spot where Keith Croucher had reported an identical object over a football field. The story then opens out into a year-long British wave: a flying saucer interfering with a woman's car headlights near Bluebell Hill in Kent; two men setting up a tripod that fired colored lights into the sky over the Britannia Barracks in Norwich; a market researcher named Joelle in Castleton encountering men who claimed to be extraterrestrials with bases on two of Jupiter's moons; and a dome-shaped craft that reportedly landed at RAF Cosford on December 10, washing the base in green light before vanishing. Stranger creatures shared the year — the Surrey Puma and other big cats stalking Shooter's Hill in London from July 18, a half-man, half-horse centaur seen in Sefton Park by witnesses including a police officer, a bulldog-headed monster rising beside two fishermen on Loch Ness, and a dinosaur-like animal that scattered seals along Cardigan Bay and left a half-eaten carcass behind. The episode closes on a darker thread of occult activity: two children found playing with a human skull taken from the ruined St. Mary's Church at Clophill in Bedfordshire, where Maltese crosses, cockerel feathers, and six tampered women's graves were uncovered; six decapitated horse heads and a cow, their jaws wrenched apart, discovered in Bluebell Woods at Caddington; clay effigies pierced with thorns and a sheep's head studded with thirteen thorns nailed up at Castle Rising in Norfolk; and a group of self-styled Devil worshippers interrupted mid-ritual at an active church in Westham, Sussex on December 7 — all set against a 1963 that began with one of the worst winters on record, claimed Labour leader Hugh Gaitskell and the poet Sylvia Plath, saw Ian Brady and Myra Hindley begin the Moors murders, and ended weeks after the assassination of President Kennedy.

And nowhere does that hum get louder than in the church.In this closing episode of Six month, Amy sits down with Sarah Jackson, licensed pastor, spiritual director, seminary graduate, and Type Six, for one of the most theologically rich conversations in the entire series. Sarah brings both her professional formation and her lived experience as a Six navigating church hurt, leadership dynamics, and the lifelong work of learning to trust God, community, and herself.She talks about the Six's defense mechanism of splitting, how it quietly applies to God himself, and what it means to hold nuance instead of constantly dividing the world into safe and unsafe, good and bad. She introduces the grief practice that quiets the inner committee when nothing else will. She draws on Julian of Norwich, "all shall be well" as the deepest expression of what a Six most longs to believe. And she offers one of the most practical spiritual tools in the series: the welcoming prayer.This is a beautiful close to a month that has asked a lot of the Six and offered even more in return.In this episode:Why the Six is one of the hardest types to self-identify, and why the Six resists hearing descriptions of herselfChurch hurt through a Six lens on how to differentiate the institution from the people in itThe Six's constant "vibe check" all in or deeply skeptical, with not much in betweenPerformance community vs. genuine community and why the distinction matters so much to a SixAnger as anxiety in disguise, what Sarah's husband sees when she's scaredGrief is the quieter of the inner committee and the most unexpected spiritual practice in the episodeSplitting as the Six's defense mechanism and how it applies to GodJulian of Norwich and the Six's deepest longing: "All shall be well"The welcoming prayer, a practical liturgy for releasing control and receiving loveMoses, as the Six's biblical hero, was scared but went in anywaySarah Jackson is a licensed pastor, spiritual director, and Enneagram practitioner serving with her husband who leads the Communion of Saints church in Colorado Springs.Connect with Sarah: https://threehere.com/ Support the showRESOURCES FOR YOU:Join the Waitlist for 1:1 Coaching with Amy Wickshttps://www.simplywholehearted.com/callamywicksNot sure about your Enneagram Type?

In this week's story time, Summer tells the story of the ancient mystics that chose to brick themselves in cells, until death do they part from their bricks. The most famous anchoress, Julian of Norwich, is widely considered the first published female author in the English language. She may also have been the first feminist cat lady. Tune in! The post Medieval Mystics Behind Bricks appeared first on Sheologians.

What happens when pain tears apart the version of God you were handed? In this deeply moving conversation, Jason sits down with author Katherine Gantlett to explore grief, miscarriage, breast cancer, hope, prayer, and the relentless goodness of God revealed in Jesus. Together they wrestle through questions of suffering, sovereignty, identity, union, and what it means to discover that God never abandoned us in winter seasons. From Brad Jersak and Paul Young to Psalm 22, Julian of Norwich, “Hygge for the Heartbroken,” and the healing power of presence, this episode is a raw and beautiful invitation to stop future-tripping, embrace the divine dance, and discover that even in the depths, Christ is deeper still.Katherine Gantletthttps://katherinegantlett.org.uk/JOIN A Family Story's Mailing Listhttps://dashing-field-76805.myflodesk.com/pie4be6wtoJOIN the Rethinking God with Tacos Facebook Group at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/godandtacosFollow Rethinking God with Tacos on Instagram at:https://www.instagram.com/rethinkinggodwithtacos/Follow Jason's personal Facebook page at:https://www.facebook.com/afamilystory.org/Follow Jason on Instagram at:https://www.instagram.com/jasonclarkis/Follow Jason on X at: https://x.com/jasonclarkis SEND A DONATION!!https://app.moonclerk.com/pay/36393kxxeh8
